💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
There were no questions out of the ordinary. Why pharmacy? Why Western? What would you do if a group member is not cooperating? What would you do if your first approach did not work?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read SDN. The questions on the interview were very similar to what's posted here. Read the Western University Website, read up on that latest in pharmacy related issues, read about pharmacy career options. Basically, just familiarize yourself with Western as well the field of pharmacy.
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing difficult really. The other questions were what do I do for fun. How do I manage stress, etc.
What impressed you positively?
The friendly staff. The student support system. They also serve snacks now which is great.
What impressed you negatively?
The location of the school. But then again, since it is isolated, maybe I can study better.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
None. I attended the information session.
